No touch support for JavaScript like e.g. Safari (Mouseover to Mouseclick conversion for Touch…)

Hi,

I am using iOS and Windows 11 tablets (convertables) and many pages could not be used with Opera in tablet mode. This includes also pages like Ebay. This ia not a problem for Safari.

Why it is like this....many pages using mouseover event to open a dropdown menu if the mousepointer is over the section. This is not possible is you are in touch only mode in Windows 11. There is no mouseover....

As a result it is not possible to use Opera with many pages and Windows 11 touch device. It is necessary to connect a mouse or touchpad.

Enhancement: Safari converts mouseover events that it will be executed on the first touch. Opera should do the same at least if a touch only device is detected (tablet mode in Windows 11) or if touch is used in general.

Cheers,
Nils
